Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

I unpacked my new Dell laptop from Amazon.com today (and spent way too many hours getting it fully set up and functioning), so to celebrate the fact that I have internet access at home for the first time in over 6 weeks I decided to belatedly pick up the TV on DVD meme.


TV shows I own on DVD:


Andromeda 2.2 (4 episodes, including "Into the Labyrinth" guest-starring James Marsters as Charlemagne Bolivar)

Angel complete seasons 1, 4, and 5

may not qualify, but...Babylon 5: Lost Tales (it's the only B5 DVD I own)

Blackadder: Back and Forth

Blood Ties seasons 1 and 2 (really two parts of a single season for another show that suffered an untimely demise)

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer: "Spike: Love is Hell", plus complete seasons 3 through 7

The Champions set 1 (first half of the entire 1960-something series)

Daniel Boone season 2 (what can I say? I had a major thing for 'Mingo' at one point, when TV Land was airing these old 1950's episodes)

Doctor Who new series 1 (9th Doctor)

Enterprise season 4 (just when it was starting to get pretty darn good)

Firefly (and yes, I own both the initial widescreen Serenity DVD and the special collector's edition, thanks to a recent Christmas/birthday gift from missmurchison!)

The Flash

Gargoyles season 2, volume 1 (yes, I'm a not-very-closeted Goliath/Elisa 'shipper -- you wanna make something of it?)

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys season 5

Highlander seasons 2, 4, 5, and 6

Justice League: Starcrossed

Justice League Unlimited season 2

Lois and Clark seasons 1 through 4 (entire series)

Moonlighting seasons 1 and 2

may not qualify, again, but...Stargate: Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum (the only Stargate: SG1 DVDs I own)

Star Trek: the Animated Series

Star Trek collection: "Alternate Realities" (mixture of episodes from several ST series)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine seasons 3, 5, 6, and 7

Total Recall 2070 "Machine Dreams" (pilot)

The Vicar of Dibley: "The Divine Collection" and "A Holy Wholly Happy Ending"

Voyagers! -- Hey, Jon-Erik Hexum was really cute as time-traveler and accidental foster father Phineas Bogg, even if the historical inaccuracies were sometimes cringe-worthy (large plate-glass window panes available for Houdini-style illusions during the Salem witch trials? What, are you kidding me?)!

Xena: Warrior Princess seasons 3, 5, and 6


And I know it's not part of the meme, but I have to include my commercial VHS collection, since these tapes are the reason why I haven't been able to bring myself to buy some of those same episodes/seasons on DVD:



The Black Adder, Blackadder II, Blackadder the Third, Blackadder Goes Forth

Blake's 7 tapes #10 through 14

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer half of season 1 ("Welcome to the Helmouth," "The Harvest", "The Witch", "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date," "Angel", "Puppet Show")

Dorothy Sayers Mysteries box set (Edward Petherbridge as Peter Wimsey in "Strong Poison," "Have His Carcass," "Gaudy Night")

The Flash two-hour pilot

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys "The Xena Trilogy" (the first-season H:TLJ episodes that led to the spin-off series X:WP)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Remington Steele Collector's Edition (edpisodes 47-48, 52-53, 60, 64, 67-68, 71, 82 -- from seasons 2 and 3)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes 51, 56, 70-72, 73-75, 86, 88, 93, 95, 97, 101-103, 105, 107-109, 111, 115-118, 121-123 (which is why I didn't buy the season 4 DVD's)

Xena: Warrior Princess all of season 1 in a box set


Good thing I bought at least half of these DVD's and tapes used, or I'd feel even guiltier about the investment they represent!
